🌿"Some Men, Indeed, Only Begin To Live When It Is Time For Them To Leave Off Living. And If This Seems

Be Like a Bee! - MARCUS AURELIUS SECRET to Being Unconsciously Kind!

We are sharing best excerpt from "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius on why it is important to be kind unconsciously:

"Some people, when they do someone a favor, are always looking for a chance to call it in. And some aren't, but they're still aware of it - still regard it as a debt. But others don't even do that. They're like a vine that produces grapes without looking for anything in return. A horse at the end of the race . . . A dog when the hunt is over . . . A bee with its honey stored . . . And a human being after helping others. They don't make a fuss about it. They just go on to something else, as the vine looks forward to bearing fruit again in season. We should be like that. Acting almost unconsciously." (c) Marcus Aurelius, "Meditations".

Beams of Thought of MARCUS AURELIUS: Profound Insight from MEDITATIONS

“What doesn’t transmit the light creates its own darkness.” (c) Marcus Aurelius, “Meditations”

“Diogenes says that there is one way to freedom, and that is to die content: and he writes to the Persian king, "You cannot enslave the Athenian state any more than you can enslave fishes."

"How is that? Cannot I catch them?"

"If you catch them," says Diogenes, "they will immediately leave you, as fishes do; for if you catch a fish, it dies; and if these men that are caught shall die, of what use to you is the preparation for war?"

These are the words of a free man who had carefully examined the thing and, as was natural, had discovered it. But if you look for it in a different place from where it is, what wonder if you never find it?”

MARCUS AURELIUS' LIFE PRINCIPLE: STOP TALKING ABOUT BEING GOOD MAN - JUST BE ONE!

Seneca on December Holidays:

‘It is the month of December, and yet the city is at this very moment in a sweat. License is given to the general merrymaking. Everything resounds with mighty preparations, – as if the Saturnalia differed at all from the usual business day! So true it is that the difference is nil, that I regard as correct the remark of the man who said: “Once December was a month; now it is a year.”’ © Seneca, "Moral Letters to Lucilius".
